the act of doing so isn't funny, that doesn't mean someone can't make a joke. Learn the difference.
Consider the case of Tiger Woods for a current example:
Difference between a Cadillac and a golf ball? Tiger can drive a golf ball over 300yds.
Why did Phil Michelson call Elin? To find out how to beat Tiger
Where was Elin the night Tiger crashed? Out clubbing.
and on it goes. Humor is a way of dealing with the awful. We'd all be happier if it didn't happen in the first place, but if it did happen, we might as well derive something positive from it.
How can you assbutts be all about personal privacy when it comes to your privacy online, but expect judges to make their personal acquaintances public?
I commend you for your grammatically correct use of the word 'assbutts' in a sentence.
As an assbutt myself, I find its rare we get the credit we deserve.
Personally, I think MikeMacK's post should be modded funny, but to each his own.
Question for those smarter than I here on Slashdot - Do emails to a congressman really have any influence whatsoever? I'd have thought a single lobbyist taking said congressman out to a nice dinner would far outweigh all the email his staffers have to delete.
Not necessarily. Just because it occurs naturally, doesn’t mean that a God didn’t use this technique to design life on earth.
Full disclosure: I don’t currently believe in such a God, due to lacking supporting evidence. However, as a scientist, I am more than willing to be proven wrong.
I think GP is probably correct. When we have problems, we tend to find solutions to them. Certainly with today's approach we are going to run out of bandwidth. Perhaps tomorrow's technology will stop sending signals in every direction, but somehow negotiate direct paths over the air using directed antennae from one or both transceivers. Then the 3D space starts becoming your friend instead of your enemy.
Rather than point out the flaws, I would say you are generally on track.
What you refer to is called triage, and hospitals do it on a daily basis.
IMHO, there are some very good ideas being discussed - ridding the insurance industry of pre-existing conditions for example, which should raise all our costs but only slightly.
Another is having health care tied to me rather than my employer so I can change jobs without incurring an insurance hassle (I don't change auto insurance when I change jobs).
However, we are also NOT discussing some critical aspects, I assume because of the corporate interests behind the politicians.
People need to pay for their own health management. Insurance should be for major unexpected problems. We don't have car insurance pay for tune ups.
The cost of medical intervention is ludicrous. I had a friend get a replacement knee, and the bill (paid by insurance) was $35,000. The doctor that performed his surgery does 3 knees a day. That doctor makes a good living, but not that good. The big money is going to lots of different leeches, such as malpractice insurance.
Until we address these issues, your comments will be valid.
Regardless of the payer, health care is rediculously expensive (http://www.nchc.org/facts/cost.shtml), and no one really cares because WE aren't the ones paying the bill. (Well, we are, but we don't feel it because either the government or our employer is paying it on our behalf).
I think the central question is whether you "buy" Autodesk, or if they give you a right to "use" it.
If you buy it, you should have the right to resale. However, I think most modern EULA are written such that you are just using it.
Similar to a warranty - if you sell your car, the warranty isn't ncessarily yours to sell along with it.
I am not saying I like the practice and IANAL, but if they can show that he didn't own it, they won't lose.
I agree with parent. I am from San Francisco, and I've never heard or seen any amphibious vehicles pass by with anyone making duck noises. Been to Boston twice, and you can't miss them. If someone deserves the rights, I think they win. Does prior art apply here?
If you put it under pressure, say by typing too fast, it will whine at you.

(1) Install "commercial quiz" on Tivo, requiring you to answer a question about the commercial so it proves you watched it once.
(2) Tivo then auto skips this commercial from now on.
(3) ??
(4) Profit!!
Or maybe God created the atmosphere by throwing comets at earth?
Whoa...

What do sheep get dunked in?
Getting a bit OT, but they get dunked in sheep dip - http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sheep_dip
Sheep dip is particularly good on ritz crackers. Everything goes better when it sitz on a ritz.
I think the first post should have been "don't feed the trolls", and left it at that.

Seriously though, you do get a creative thinking award. It looks smooth enough to carry a camera.

Sorry to be pedantic (too much time on /.?), but GP is correct. A compound fracture is one that is poking out of the skin. Not logical, I know.

Wow, I thought only women could go from hot to cold that fast!
That seems to be something identifiable by people as a "I'll know it when I see it". At least Supreme court justices...
I'll take the IRS, you get Congress...
We need some volunteers for the executive branch, and the army.
Wait - Were you kidding, or serious. I couldn't tell.
